Between Oriental Alps and the Danube basin,
thanks to its geographical position Austria is a crossroad of
trades among the great economic and cultural areas of Europe.
Its past is indissolubly tied to the dynasty of the Habsburg,
that in over six centuries of kingdom transformed a mountainous
Country into a great wide international empire with influence on
a very vast territory, thanks to good choices in the purchase of
the lands and a skilled matrimonial politics more than to the
traditional military conquests.
Although largely reduced by the end of the First World War, the
signs of the ancient power and richness are still visible in the
rich traditions, in the music, in the culture and in the elegant
and stately cities of art: Wien is considered one of the
most beautiful capitals in Europe. But the beauty of the capital
and of the other art cities, like the Mozart’s Salzburg
or the delicious Graz, are only an aspect of the tourist
attractions of Austria. Besides the famous skiing structures
of Lech, St.Anton and Bad Kleinkirchheim, the country boasts
in fact a large number of valid destination in every season. Not
only cultural tourism, among city, castles and monasteries, or
tied up to the winter sports, but also entertainments which
range from the summer alpine ski to the cares of body and
health. Austria offers in fact the best specialized wellness
centers: relax, hay's baths, sport, oriental techniques,
thermal baths... for a holiday in the name of nature and
health. Spectacular mountains and landscapes are waiting for
people who loves uncontaminated nature.
A country of fresh mountain air, green silent highlands, pure
crystal water, thermal springs, protected in beautiful National
Parks by extremely various landscape and a precious patrimony of
fauna and flora, to be enjoyed while listening to a Waltz
and eating a piece of Sacher Cake.
